The property is clean & well maintained & run by a friendly, professionally staff. This Cabin has everything you need to be comfortable while enjoying the outdoors!


The Space:

The Cabin is very nice and comfortable, the wood walls and peeled log beams lend to a modern rustic charm. There is a large screened-in back porch with a view of the park and River that is perfect for hanging out and relaxing. We are surrounded by large farms and ranches so the views are very nice, and the feel is peaceful and relaxing! We have an electric BBQ pit located on the back porch for easy grilling and a charcoal pit on the side yard. The cabin also has a fire-pit and picnic table for roasting marshmallows and star gazing at night!

Cabin features include: central air-conditioning/heating, full bathroom with hot water shower, full kitchen with range, microwave, oven, cooktop, coffee maker, full sized fridge, pots pans, dishes and silverware, full bathroom with hot water shower, 2 comfortable queen sized beds with linens, pillows and blankets, WiFi & Smart TV. The Cabin is one unit of a triplex that sits up the hill from Son’s Blue River Camp providing guests their own space yet, it's an easy walk down to the river and to all the amenities of Son’s Blue River Camp.

Hang out at the river, lay in a hammock, tube, kayak, BBQ, play beach volleyball, swim, fish , roast marshmallows, star gaze and more! There is so much to do at Son’sBlue River Camp! You’re fun an relaxing getaway is only a few clicks away!


Guest Access:

Guest can park directly in front of the cabin and are welcome to explore and use the many amenities of Son’s blue Rive Camp including chairs and umbrellas by the river’s edge, the numerous hammocks which are spread through he property, sand volleyball court, fire pits and more!


Other Details to Note:

Son’s Blue River camp also rents Riverside Cabanas that can be added to a guests stay but it’s best to reserve ahead of time as we are normally full every day in the summer and most weekends. Cabanas are available from 10:30 AM - 6:30 PM and come with picnic table, BBQ pit, comfortable outdoor wicker furniture, water and electricity. Cabana rentals are extra, though Cabin guests may use picnic tables, lounge chairs and umbrellas down by the water free of charge.

We also rent tubs and kayaks. We have another location 2 miles up river which is our tubing/kayaking put in. Shuttles run back and forth during the high season every day and most weekends during the off season (we do not run shuttles in the winter however and shuttles must be scheduled ahead of time). Our section of the river is very family friendly and has no dangerous dams or rapids. It’s a great place for beginners to kayak and just about anyone can tube. We provide free life jacket use for non or weak swimmers.

Nightmare

The worst representation on VRBO. It made it look like it was a cabin on the river, could not see the river. There were shipping containers and portable outhouses that you looked from front door. The night light by the bed had no light bulb, no towels nor paper towels in the kitchen. If you rent this, you need to bring everything from home. So isolated, there is nothing around close enough to run and get anything. I didn’t complete my stay. The person I spoke to did nothing about making it right. I would not recommend this to anyone.

About the host

Hosted by Karin Rettele

Host profile image
My name is Karin Rettele. I am a professional property manager, wife and Mom of four.
I was born and raised in this area and grew up floating the river, going to the nearby lakes, catching concerts at Gruene and White Water Amphitheater, having fun at Schlitterbahn and all the other fun activities in this area offer!

I love going out to eat and trying new placed with my Husband Jessie. I can recommend places to eat as well as having fun but my main focus is to make sure your cabin is clean and your stay with us is comfortable and convenient! Please let us know if you need anything.

Why they chose this property

Son's Blue River Camp is located on the gorgeous and family friendly San Marcos River near Fentress, TX! This part of the river is ideal for tubing as there are no dangerous dams or rapids and the river flows at a nice pace allowing you to float with little to no paddling!

This section of the River is also ideal for families. You won't find the college scene here. Instead, floaters will find a beautiful blue river, outlined with majestic cypress and pecan trees which creates a peaceful, relaxing and enjoyable float. And since the San Marcos River is spring-fed, the river flows nice all summer long and doesn't dry up or slow down like the Guadalupe and Frio Rivers do.

Son's River Ranch is located 2 miles up river and is our tubing/kaying put in. We have shuttles that run between the 2 properties everyday in the summer, on most weekends in the spring and fall and by reservation in the winter. Tubing and laying is a must if you come to Son's Blue River Camp!

What makes this property unique

The fishing is excellent! You will routinely see Fly Fishing Guides guide trips from Fentress to our takeout. Anglers try thee hand at catching small mouth, large mouth, sunporch, catfish and more!

We have some of the best BBQ in the state in the local town nearby. Be sure to try City Market in Luling and Smitty's in Lockhart when you come! It's finger-licking good!

We are surrounded by large farms and ranches. It’s peaceful and relaxing and the stars shine bright at night! There is so much fun to be had and things to do on the San Marcos River and Son’s Blue River Camp!
